Hi Paul

Good to know that paper burns in a microwave

How long does it take to sterilise the 4 litre
Maybe a closed plastic microwave bowl with little holes works better

Hello Roland,

Yes I routinely sterilise 4 litres of potting mix. I usually damp it first
as it dries out quite quickly. A word of caution, in response to comments
from my wife about HER microwave, I put a sheet of newspaper in first, it
burst into flames and burnt the plastic lining of the machine. That took
quite a bit of negotiation

Where is it still freezing.
